I find that Charlotte Tilbury Sex on Fire is the color that works best for me for mauve-brown shades. Lawless Soft Matte Liquid Lipstick in GeorgeSur Satin Blush $24 is a semi-sheer brown mauve, this pulls a little too brown on my skin right now, I’ve lost my tan and feel a little on the sallow side, coverage is buildable, but I prefer other brand formulas of blush these days.

Marc Jacobs Air Blush in Flesh and Fantasy Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic in Sex on Fire I think Soft Teddy is a nice all over lid shade for a contour or depth. They’re on the sheer side for me, which isn’t necessarily bad. These will layer for more color if you apply over a creamy base. These days I’m more used to higher impact shadows with rich pigment.

The blush and eyeshadows are wearable, but these days I think there are better formulas out there. I really love the Velvet Teddy lipstick color and am glad they made a coordinating lipglass. You can also find the MAC in Monochrome in other cult classic colors like Heroine, See Sheer, Diva, Candy Yum and Ruby Woo. Eyeshadows did stay put without budging though!The entire collection is limited-edition. Blush color fades within a few hours on my skin, but most of their satin formula blushes fade on me by the end of the day. Also available at Macy’s, Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. For now I’m really happy with the Velvet Teddy theme.I bought mine from MAC. I might order the lipglass soon.
